That being the case, representatives of the department of Indian Affairs can give us the numbers. I would like to know how much of that amount is allocated for these communities. I have not been to visit aboriginal communities, but people there have seen horror stories unfold on a daily basis.
If we want aboriginal people to adopt better eating habits and improve their quality of life, this money will not be enough to do it. I think that the government's action with respect to first nations was very unsatisfactory. Five years from now, other members may be sitting here at the health committee table, and the goals we wanted to achieve will not have been achieved.
